Are you ready to be a real Disney Prince or Princess? The pay for these performers is $11.25 an hour but the wardrobes are positively fairy tale fantastic!

The following are real auditions for real actors and actresses. If you are ready to make the leap from amateur to the big time, this is your chance. Remember to arrive early at auditions, register once you get there and be sure to wear comfortable clothes for a movement exercise.

Disney Prince & Princess Look-a-like Audition

If you bear a resemblance to a Disney Prince or Princess, attend the Disney Look-a-like Performers audition on Saturday, October 20 at either 10 a.m. or 4 p.m. at the Walt Disney World Casting Center at 1515 E Buena Vista in Lake Buena Vista, Florida.

Weekly Character Open Call Audition

Open Call Audition - Atlanta, GA

This open call is for male and female look-a-like performers and skilled parade dance performers. It is happening on Friday, October 26, 2007 at 4:00 p.m. Get there early because sign-in begins at 3:30 p.m. and you should expect a large crowd. This will be at the Georgia Dance Conservatory at 49 West Park Square NE, Marietta, Georgia.

All applicants must be at least 16 years old and should contact the Walt Disney World Jobline at (407) 828-1000 to schedule an interview. Only qualified candidates will be invited to attend an audition. (You can't just show up!) The audition is based on movement and animation ability. You'd be surprised at just how much movement it takes to walk around in a Goofy suit! Applicants must also be prepared to participate in a movement and animation exercise to prove their ability. For obvious reasons, dance experience is required for some of these roles. Applicants should be between 4'8" and 6'3".

Break a leg!
